Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello, hello.
Alright.
Okay.
Got a message here?
Yeah.
So this is from Toriko-san today.
Toriko-san.
Thank you, Toriko-san.
Thank you.
Hello, Toriko here.
Hello.
The hot days are coming, aren't they?
Yeah.
It's been cool recently though.
Yeah.
She sent us this message on 15th of August.
15th.
Yeah.
It's like a month.
Yeah.
A month ago.
Yep.
That's a month ago.
Yeah.
Yep.
Burning hot.
Yeah.
Yep.
Very hot.
Yep.
Really?
Really?
After a morning run, before going to work after getting ready,
when you ask someone, they say they were showering,
or when they wipe their hair with a towel before going to bed,
and so on.
I think this is often used in the transition of scenes.
Yeah.
But the other day, on the Instagram of an American influencer,
there was a story about how often you take a shower.
Most people answered, "Once every two or three days,
or once every week."
Yeah.
I've heard that only Japanese people take showers every day,
and I feel the contradiction with the way they express themselves in the drama.
Yeah.
So,
"I take showers every day, but in the drama, I don't really express myself like that in Japan."
That's true.
"I only take showers once every two or three days,
but in the drama, I express myself like I take showers more than twice."
Yeah.
"I feel the difference in culture in many ways."
What do you think?
Oh, okay.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I thought the only reason why they showed the...
I think...
I don't think they show the shower scene,
because they go to shower often.
I think it's just for convenience.
Okay.
You know, screenwriting convenience.
Yeah.
That they have like a...
Scene switching.
Yeah, that's...
I feel like that's it.
Yeah.
You know?
Get the atmosphere going, I guess.
That's how I take it.
Yeah, yeah.
I take it once every day, at night.
Okay.
How about you? Is that same?
In the real life?
Yeah.
Oh, twice.
Twice a day?
Yeah.
Morning and night?
Morning and night.
Okay.
Yeah.
I mean, in the U.S., I...
I remember all my friends, they take shower at night every day.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
That's how I remember it.
Okay.
But I think recently, especially younger people, like younger generations, I think they've...
Yeah, like what the message said, like every two days or every three days, something like that.
Yeah.
03:00
I can imagine how that's a normality for them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What?
A normality.
Normality. Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm sure I used it correctly.
Let me search it up.
Yeah.
It's like a majority.
Yeah, something that's normal.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Normal.
Seijo.
Seijo.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess I used it correctly.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
What's normal?
That's unnormality.
Unnormality for them.
I don't know.
What do you want to...
Unnormality.
Unnormality.
Unnormality.
Yeah.
What's that?
Yeah, I thought this word would be useful for grammar.
Unnormality.
That's...
If I were to use another word...
Intensity.
Intensity.
Yeah, that's "a".
Yeah.
I was wrong.
That's normal for them.
Okay.
That's...
Okay.
I was...
Yeah.
I was wrong.
Okay.
My English was wrong.
Okay.
Yup.
Yup.
Yup.
Yup.
Okay.
Yup.
Anyways.
Anyways.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
When I went to France, they took showers every two days or like three days.
Okay.
So not many people took shower every day.
No.
Yeah.
Hmm.
It's...
I don't know why.
Mm-hmm.
Though.
I'm...
I'm used to taking it every day.
So I...
Yeah.
I can't live without taking it every day.
Very hot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Maybe in France, it's not humid like here in Japan.
It's quite dry.
So you don't have to...
That's true.
It's not like sweaty weather.
That's true.
You can just...
You don't sweat a lot.
I see.
I see.
So your skin's always...
Yeah.
...sara-sara.
Right.
And it's just always sara-sara.
So you don't have to, you know, wash them out.
That's so...
That's so...
Yeah.
I'm so jealous.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's right.
Right.
And if they do some sports like football or like they go to the...
Swimming pool?
...size.
Yeah.
Swimming pool.
They take shower after that.
Okay.
After...
Right after it.
Right after the sport, you know.
So they don't have to take shower in your places.
Okay.
So that's why maybe...
Okay.
Yeah.
06:00
I know some of the young people in Japan, they don't take shower every day.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I know like women who are into beauty.
They...
Because their hair is like...
Yeah.
They don't want to damage their hair.
Yeah.
Try to use the natural oils.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I heard that too.
I think they should take shower every day.
Maybe they take shower, but they don't just...
Right.
Not do the shampoo.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They just wash the bodies and faces.
I think they should do that every day, you know.
Because it's...
Right.
Like you said, it's humid in here.
Yeah.
I feel like...
It's different.
You can say...
You can talk...
Same way.
Yeah.
It's a different environment than the LA girls.
Yeah.
Right?
It's really different.
Yeah.
It's completely different.
You sweat a lot in here.
I mean the LA girls might be okay.
Yeah.
It's too dry and it's always dry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can just wipe and that's done.
Right.
Right.
Get their frappuccinos and...
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
Just wipe your body and then just...
Get their frappuccinos and...
Yeah.
Of course.
Wear the sunglasses and...
Smoothies and...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wear, you know, Skechers and...
Skechers.
Yeah.
Skechers and...
That's great.
Yeah.
Drinking the lavender...
Lavender, matcha, matcha lavender.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But some people can't drink them because they're allergic to it.
Yeah.
[laughter]
Of course.
Of course.
Of course.
I wonder how she's doing.
You know, I wonder if she's good.
I don't know where she is right now.
But she's doing well.
She returns safely.
Okay, that's good.
Well, I guess.
That's good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I thought she went to...
Singapore.
Singapore, right?
Yeah.
After Japan, yeah.
I saw some posts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wonder if she liked the gifts that we got her.
Yeah.
The sour candy and the tsumakiri.
Yeah.
The chocolates and everything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, true.
We just want to know the comments.
Yeah, I'm actually...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm actually really curious.
Yeah.
Right?
True.
[laughter]
Yeah.
Maybe sour candies.
Yeah.
Sour maybe?
Maybe, right?
Because her boyfriend, right, was...
She's right there.
Yeah.
And she...
Her boyfriend was like, he could never find a sour patch that's sour-y enough.
Mm-hmm.
Right?
Mm.
Curious.
Yeah.
Hope they are happy about the presents.
Yeah.
I hope so, too.
09:00
Yeah.
I hope so, too.
Hope they're not just throwing away those things in the hotel in Japan.
Yeah.
I mean, it's fair if they do.
I mean, they didn't ask for it, right?
Yeah.
It's fair.
It's fair.
Yeah, but...
But I just hope that...
Yeah.
Japanese quality...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, they made them satisfy.
Yeah.
I hope it's satisfying for them.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Right.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
Okay.
All right.
I got to...
All right, so...
Okay, so
